Some questions deserve an answer

To the editor:

To explain the unexplainable, scientists blast the Big Bang theory into the limelight. In addition, some anti-theists claim aliens genetically engineered the human race and that UFO sightings are aliens inspecting their experiment’s progress. Further, some disbelieve that an afterlife exists.

Nonetheless, if one believes the Big Bang theory, their inner being must ask, “Who or what created cosmic matter and lit the explosive fuse?” If UFO pilots planted human seed on Earth, every soul should nag: “Who or what sowed seed on the alien’s planet?”

Human nature demands answers. Without answers, one’s spirit is fidgety and unfulfilled. Anyone who claims no afterlife exists should feel cheated. They should scream: “Why not?” “Why am I here?” “Where did I come from?”

When a child asks their parents, “Where did I come from?” mom or dad stutters about sex. What if they answered without sexual concerns? What if they explained that with enough paper and pencil, everyone can chart family twigs back to antediluvian characters; explain that everyone can strip off family bark to reveal lineage to the first male and female.

Adam and Eve, or whatever progenitor theory one believes, arrived on Earth in the ancient past and, today, just being alive evokes one’s thought to remember about life. One thought claims that a deity formed living creatures from Earth dust and these living creatures populate this planet. This view becomes lost among evolutionary thoughts that crawly sea creatures evolved into swinging critters on a limb, which eventually drove 18-wheelers or performed brain surgery.

If this progression is true, who or what planted the organism that crawled from the sea? Why did the ocean quit producing such mutating life-forms? Why, while collecting seashells, has no one tripped over a mutant?

Despite any claim, humans roam Earth today because a beginning happened. Since humans are not responsible for that beginning, only a power higher than human intellect created man’s roots. Only intelligence could have formed matter from nonexistent material to explode with a Big Bang. Only intelligence could have created alien life that some claim planted inquisitive humankind on Earth’s laboratory.

When inquisitive humans search for any event’s truth, one seeks witnesses to that event. Human witnesses to creation never existed. Thus, truth seekers search for and read journals that their ancestors wrote that explains experiences with a higher power. After reading those journals, if truth seekers decide that a higher power exists, it makes no difference whether that deity is male, female, cruel, merciful, wrathful or loving. Those journals explain what science cannot answer. Not only that some intelligence created us, but that intelligence created us for a purpose other than selfish existence.

Considering that, one should name that intelligence. Although naming a higher power offends some, why not use the name preferred from Genesis to Revelation? God!

Further, although the Supreme Being’s inferred gender grinds political grist for some, since those ancient journals refer to God as Him, the truth seeker should do the same.

In addition, while reading those journals, truth seekers should note that within them are proven answers on how to live a blessed, fruitful and peaceful life — a life that comforts the heart. If a soul ignores those biblical answers and chases an unsettled, ego-driven existence, yes, they can believe and boast that God does not exist but only in their life.
